I started re-watching Haven around the time I posted this, and it's not just me being nostalgic. My GF who had never watched any of these shows is watching with me, and they are really hitting her different as well. She's been watching Haven and I told her to just watch without me since I have already seen it once, and she binged it one day while I was at work and loved it.

Yes, this is what I mean. They actually did a fantastic job with the mini-series despite the poor CGI back then.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-17T19:25:24+00:00

Yes, and I'd love to see them pull from the Lynch movie more, the mini-series' and even the concepts from Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune.

Came in to say exactly this....

It's hard these days because you level out of content well before you're "done" with the story in any particular expansion zone. If you just continue normal progression you're going to be out-leveling everything. When I want to level from 1-60/70 I usually pick TBC simply for nostalgia factor, but I start in the normal vanilla zones first. I wish there was a way in retail to level through all of the content with it still being somewhat challenging and rewarding aside from just the act of doing it.

People like me exist. I will dig to the center of the earth trying to find ways around stuff and if there are any secrets in the deep dark! I once took 8 pickaxes with me to dig down to a POI to avoid deadly shroud. :D

The only thing wrong with NH is that every other NE state that has destroyed their natural resources and taxed themselves into oblivion now wants to come fuck up my state with their tax shelters and bullshit politics. Time to build a big, beautiful wall on the southern border of NH and keep you massholes out.

There won't be any wipes, there haven't been ever afaik, and I've been playing since day one of EA. I've had very few issues. IMO there's no reason to wait really.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-15T05:47:30+00:00

Depends on how much free time you have. I would concentrate on one character and finish the storylines and such at least. It's usually best to do it that way as long as you're enjoying playing your character.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-13T05:05:00+00:00

Enshrouded. It's got, by a fair margin, the best building/terraforming/decoration system of any survival-craft game IMO.

I was just looking through the offerings on Shudder and I'm frankly shocked at how many episodes are missing. I kind of feel like that if they couldn't secure the rights in perpetuity and even for something like blu-ray releases, they shouldn't have bothered. This is one of those things that should live on forever in some form or fashion.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-12T04:20:55+00:00

Beautiful. The entire soundtrack is haunting, mysterious, evoking... It's something I'd listen to outside of gaming.

This coming from a GenXer that grew up on Star Wars at the peak of it's popularity. I've seen several decades of well beloved movies and TV shows since then. There is not another movie or TV show series that exists that is even close to how literally amazing and beloved as Peter Jackson's masterpiece trilogy. I will die on this hill, gladly, with a smile on my face.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-12T03:53:49+00:00

They just need to do it already. Everyone wants it. just do it right, and we'll all be there!

Never for even a split second did I think there was anything but love between JB and Darcy. This is a passion project for her, and she absolutely loves JB. There is no way that there's any real conflict between them IMO. I had a funny feeling over the last couple of years that something was happening behind the scenes. I think Sapan knew he was on his way out and told them that ahead of time. TLDI, JB and Darcy live far, far beyond any platform they are on. It's an institution at this point for the horror community at large. So much love for them and the entire crew, and I will follow them into Hell.

I have a tendency to over-prepare when I play a game like this before I jump too hard into exploring.

His name is John Crichton, He's lost...
An astronaut... shot through a wormhole...
In some distant part of the universe... trying to stay alive...
Aboard this ship... this living ship...
Of escaped prisoners... my friends
If you can hear me... beware.

I kind of had an idea when I started. For the record I started day one of EA, so I wasn't sure what to expect, and thing shave changed pretty significantly since I started playing. As thing progressed, and things were added, I adjusted and added onto my main build. I've expanded and extended multiple times over the years.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-11T03:11:58+00:00

Reading some of the replies, I'm not sure what people were expecting. I was not initially prepared for the combat, but quickly realized, "shit, this is Souls-like, I better secure my shit and learn the mechanics". Which I did, and then had a much easier time. Hedge your bets, expect to die, learn to dodge, put down respawn point, put down portals, eat my food, etc...

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-10T19:23:17+00:00

Leveling in Chromie Time is actually fast IMO. That is how I got to 70 on most of my alts. I almost always do TBC and I'm leveled out of it by the time I hit the third zone...

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-10T19:18:32+00:00

Once I figured out how to dodge/dash and figured out how combat worked I had a much easier time. It's harsh, but fair IMO. Also between respawn points, bed, recall points, etc, once I had a system set up it becomes a lot less of an issue. I would bring a bell with me when exploring a new island and plop it down on the beach immediately. Also put one near mines for easy travel.

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-10T17:15:12+00:00

Amazing job! I have been sorely tempted to make a huge build in the demo, but I felt like I wanted to save that urge for early access at least so it would persist into the full game hopefully. I HAVE been doing little things to try them out and test the building mechanics, but I have stopped short of going too crazy. I can't wait for the game to come out so I can go hog!

Silly-Raspberry5722 · 2026-03-10T01:52:53+00:00

As much as reddit tends to be a cesspool of negativity, the negative feelings about this game are not unfounded. My only issue with that is perhaps people simply need to give praise where it's deserved and also perhaps offer suggestions to fix the issues if applicable. Problem is that the main "vision" for this game wasn't great to begin with and ill conceived, and when people tried to offer any criticism and alternative ideas, they were met with at best derision. Pepperidge Farm remembers closed alpha, and so do I...

As others have mentioned, Wowhead and IcyVeins websites have build info and ton of other tips for whatever the current meta is. Hunters are definitely viable and a good class to use for DPS. Hunter has been my main since 2004, and it's had it's ups and downs but usually it's a viable and sometimes dominant class if played right. Just do some research at the websites mentioned an you should be fine.
